Concrete grinding

[paulnelson]

I have a concrete slab on my drive, just in front of the garage door. It's where I park as the rest is gravel & that's where I work outside if its a decent day. Unfortunately the slab has a dip in the middle indicating that all edges are higher, obviously this makes a large puddle when wet which is only 3 or 4mm deep but over a fair area of the slab. The slab is about 30m2 overall.

I was considering what I can do about this as it's a pain in the **** really. Googling brings up concrete grinding washington dc. Has anyone any experience of this? I've seen polished concrete showing the aggregate but on my drive I don't want a polished surface, as this would obviously end up like an ice rink when wet. So can this be done just to bring the concrete flat or even with a slight camber? But with a rough finish so I don't look like Mr Bean ice skating every time I go to the car.

Alternative suggestions welcome.

It seems like you're dealing with a frustrating issue with your concrete slab. Concrete grinding can indeed be a solution to level out the dip in the middle and create a smoother surface. While I don't have specific information about concrete grinding services in Washington, D.C., it is a commonly used technique for addressing uneven concrete surfaces.

When you hire a professional concrete grinding service, they will use specialized equipment to grind down the higher edges of the slab, effectively leveling it out. They can also adjust the process to create a slight camber, which helps with water drainage. You can discuss your specific requirements with the professionals to ensure that the finish is not overly smooth, as you mentioned.
